I racked my raspberry mead off the fruit and over to the secondary about a week ago. Before racking I added five pound of honey, warmed in hot water, to the secondary carboy. After racking was done there was a honey cake at the bottom so I swirled everything around. This didn't mix all of the honey in but I figured the beasties would find the food so I left it alone. Each day for the next couple days I stirred it up and tried to get the honey mixed in.
My question for everybody is, could I have done this a better way? I hate wasting honey, it looks like there is still a layer on the bottom. This is only my second batch of mead so I still have a lot to learn.
